User talk:DT8217

Hello DT8217! Welcome to Wikivoyage.

To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page.

If you are a Wikipedian then you may notice some differences in policies and the style of our articles. These include:
 * NPOV &rarr; be fair (not quite the same thing!)
 * be bold &rarr; plunge forward
 * Village pump &rarr; travellers' pub
 * External links &rarr; We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate primary links only into the text itself.
 * sandbox &rarr; graffiti wall
 * stub tagging &rarr; Article status

It may also be very useful for you to check out Welcome, Wikipedians. If you need help, take a look at Help, or else post a message in the travellers' pub or on my talk page. Thanks for contributing!

Thanks for starting an article on Waimea Canyon, though it's not in Wikivoyage style and lacks any kind of Wikivoyage article template. I'd like to recommend for you to look at Kauai and also at Park article template. You might also benefit from looking at some Star-level park articles such as Big Bend National Park, Zion National Park, Isle Royale National Park and Yosemite National Park. Note the importance of the "isPartOf" code that should be at the end of the article. Every destination article on this site is part of what's called the Breadcrumb navigation hierarchy. In your case, what should be in the "isPartOf" is Kauai.

I just threw a bunch of stuff at you. Don't worry about fully absorbing all of it now, but do what you can. Getting rid of ALL CAP text and putting your content in a park article template are important. Also, I hope you didn't copy and paste anything from any other site; if you did, we'll have to delete the article and ask you to start over. The relevant policy on that is at Copyleft.

Thanks again, we experienced users will be happy to help you, and happy editing!

All the best,
